Abstract: Btu is the three letter acronym for British thermal unit. One Btu is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water from 58.5 F to 59.5F (about 1055.056 joules (SI)). Heat, Btus, is gained from the burning of Natural Gas, that is Oxidation, as is shown in the chemical equations below: ? CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2H2O + HEAT (1010 Btu/CF) ? 2C2H6 + 7O2 4CO2 + 6H2O + HEAT (1769 Btu/CF) ? C3H8 + 5O2 3CO2 + 4H2O + HEAT (2516 Btu/CF) This HEAT is the valuable commodity that makes Natural Gas production, transmission and distribution profitable as an enterprise. The purpose of this paper is to describe how this heat amount can be obtained from the gas composition. The method for attaining this composition will also be discussed.
